Okay so i pulled both my front struts out of my '92 slc to replace the upper strut mounts and bearings. Now the upper bolt on the drivers side was snapped off at the end and a couple others are a bit rusty. I noticed however that both the upper and lower bolts are camber adjustment bolts, shouldn't only 1 be that way? I went to the deaker and the lower bolt is no longer available and was $20 but the top is available and is only $5 so what is the difference here? And mine just had flat washers on the back side but the dealer showed a concave washer or whatever. I just want to get all the correct hardware so i can put it back together how it should be.

You are correct in saying you only need one camber bolt per strut.

Which i'm guessing is the lower one? That would make sense why the lower one was so expensive and is not available. Do i need the sprecila concave washers or whatever they are called?

its the upper. the lower is the pivot bolt, and the upper is the adjustment. you need a special eccentric keyed washer on the other side before you put the nut on. the good news is you obviously have two of them?

yes replace the upper bolt.
You can also go get a smaller bolt (12mm grade 10) and have plenty of alignment room to wiggle.
Or just do what I do, take the original bolt, grind it down where it goes through the spindle and wala, fee camber adjustment bolt.you're looking up used handguns at school? welcomed to the flagged student list

Or overkill it alltogether and use 7/16" SS ARP bolts. Stronger than stock and lots of room for adjustment. I'm running -2.8 degrees for auto-X and there's mush more room to go if I want to test out -3.0.
